@michaelwilde yes but the OSS community uses free as in beer to imply that you also need liberty. And free software isn't Free.

Now that I'm in my 30s.... a decade seems like a short amount of time. It's very disturbing to me that WWII was only six decades ago.

Closures in JDK 7 means I can re-implement benchmark4j as methods that take a closure. With static imports this is going to be sweet.
